Testimonials

I am so grateful to the PREP team. Their leasing and investment sales team guided us through an extremely challenging disposition process. They helped us accomplish our goal and I am confident that without their assistance we would never have achieved the price that we achieved for our property in the timeframe that we achieved it. They are honest, hardworking and intelligent people and I could not recommend them enough, especially to those investors that may not have a lot of shopping center experience.

Jim Shelger

Partner / Barstow Shopping Center

PREP team members have been a valuable part of my acquisition and disposition strategy for many years. They have provided me with expert advice and intelligent opinions as I have contemplated my investment portfolio. They truly understand the nuances of shopping center investments and how to address the complexities of the business.

Mike Rue

President / Marketplace Properties

I have completed over 10 lease transaction with the PREP team and they have worked aggressively to help me achieve my goals for my shopping center investment. They have aggressively exposed my property to the tenants in the marketplace and have relocated tenants to my property, assisted me with lease renewals, and brought corporate tenants to the property. I am pleased to be associated with this firm.

Michael Chesser

President / Chesser Group, Inc.

We love the fact that the PREP team has been able to achieve great pricing when we needed to lease and sell our Inland Empire shopping centers. They are very detail oriented, pleasant to work with and always put our interests first. This is exactly the type of broker that my partners and I enjoy having represent us.

Kathy Hone

Principal / The Hone Company

Over the last 3 years that I have worked with PREP, we have completed six sale transactions. Being located on the East Coast, I would frequently have my conversation with my broker which frequently involved early morning phone calls. I found that my PREP broker would do anything he needed to do to solve problems and help me complete my transactions.

Joe Girard

Investor

PREP has handled over $50M in sales for my firm. There is no other brokerage firm that I would trust as much as PREP to sell my properties.

Dave Scott

Past President / Glenwood Development

I have worked with members of the PREP team for almost 20 years and there is no broker that I trust more to give me their honest opinion, the value of their relationships, and diligent effort to get the job done.

Bob Jarrard

Partner / Abel, Jarrard & Company

We recently developed a ground up project in Chino. The PREP team has been an invaluable resource throughout this entire project. They have provided me with superior efforts, great results, and significant knowledge throughout the process. We look forward to future projects with their team.

Premier Investments

PREP has been instrumental in successfully leasing The Colonies Project in Upland as well as ground up development projects in San Dimas, Temecula, Hesperia and Ontario. We look forward to our continued success together.

Scott Fawcett

We have worked with numerous members of the PREP team through our property acquisition, leasing and disposition process. In the development business, it is critical to work with hard working people that you like & trust. We have enjoyed a great relationship with PREP and look forward to many more transactions together.

Craig Smith

President / Fountainhead Development

I have had a very long term relationship with PREP. They have helped me lease and sell numerous of my family’s shopping center assets including projects in Fontana, Moreno Valley, and Yucaipa. We have truly enjoyed this long term relationship and appreciate all that they have done to help us create value for our assets. We look forward to many more years of working together.

Michael Wiener

Principal / Wiener Properties

We have known the PREP team for years through their active industry involvement, but never had the opportunity to work with them until recently. We have had a great experience because the PREP team has been able to create results for our project that others were not able to create. This has motivated us to find additional projects in their trade area that we can work on together.

Chris Bergren

Principal / Evergreen Development

I truly appreciate all that the PREP team did for me and my family. They were recommended to me by an experienced investor, but I did not know what to expect. As someone who has never had to go through a lease renewal with a national retailer, the sale of a property and the subsequent acquisition of an upleg, they provided me with outstanding knowledge, service, and results. I would be pleased to recommend them to other independent property owners.

Vince Burokas

Trustee / The Burokas Family Trust

The PREP team has helped us lease, acquire and sell retail assets. They truly understand the business. We have created a lot of value together and we look forward to working with them for many more years.
